About the Art Gallery of Ontario
The Art Gallery of Ontario, often shortened to AGO, is a Toronto art museum, in Ontario, Canada. Its address is Dundas Street West, within downtown Toronto's Grange Park neighborhood. The complex covers 45,000 square meters (480,000 sq ft), which places it among North America's largest art museums and makes it the second largest of Toronto's art museums, behind the Royal Ontario Museum. Besides exhibition spaces, it holds dining facilities, a library and archives, a research center, a workshop, and an office and studio for an artist in residence.
Private citizens and Toronto Society of Arts members founded it in 1900 under the name Art Museum of Toronto. It was incorporated in 1903. In 1919 it took the name Art Gallery of Toronto, and since 1966 it has been the Art Gallery of Ontario. Harriet Boulton Smith, who died in 1909, left the gallery her 1817 Georgian manor, The Grange. Ownership passed to the museum in 1911, and The Grange opened as the art museum in June 1913.
Darling and Pearson designed the first series of expansions, in 1918, 1924 and 1935. John C. Parkin added to the complex in 1974 and 1977, and Barton Myers and KPMB Architects followed in 1993. Frank Gehry, who was born in Toronto, carried out a further expansion from 2004 to 2008, his first work in Canada. The permanent collection holds over 120,000 works.

- Small rooftop details
- The flat roofs carry many small boxes and stepped features. A larger print size keeps them, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep their edges crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The Art Gallery of Ontario is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
